Probate Court-Judge Robertson.

Probate Court-Judge Robertson. There partly heard before Judge Robertson in the Probate court yesterday the application of the town of Orange Betsey G. Sperry being petitioner in the matter, for the appointment of conservator for George T. Sperry, aged nearly twenty-five years. Mrs Sperry is the aunt of young Sperry who is heir to about $1O,C)0. Judge Pickett ap- peared for the applicants while Lawyer Zacher appeared for Sperry. Ms Sperry stated that she was sister of ParIow Sperry, George Sperry's father He died in 1874 George attained his ma jority sometime last fall. The witness has seen George much during his life and taken much in terest in him. During his minority he did not spend his money to advantage. He went to Mon tana, and while there wrote letters which were changeful in spirit; now he was coming home, and again he would say he would stay there. In one letter he said he was going to be President of the United States and that her husband went away to bring George home because he was insane. George went away again and returned about three weeks
 She said he could not buy his own clothes with good judgment, but always relied upon, somebody else to do his business, as he could not handle his
 Judge Bronson said he had been trustee of the will of Sperry's grandmother, who left one fifth low Sperry, and that the grandfather did the same The amount left to the Sperry children asgregated aen Geogs hree
 children, and was still guardian and conserva- tor over one who is weak-minded:
 Last fall when George came of age the witness paid him over &, 800 His aunt Bessie attended to
 
 Three of the children were weak-minded, and wit ness thought George also was mentally weak. Mr Bennett the husband of Georges aunt claimed that George was incompetent to manage his affairs but did not narrate any facts to bear out his opinion. He spoke in narrowing accents of i the wild western wolves who waiting in Mon- tana to fleece innocent New Haven lambs
 None of the testimony offered amounted to any thing with the exception of that given by Judge Bronson. The defense claim that young Sperry has kept an account and can show what he has done with all the money received since his major ity, and on this, in all likelihood, will hinge the ron tiOor of a was much testimony taken of unimportant character during the afternoon.
